Had my 800ft driveway plowed. Took them 5 minutes. Charged me $1000.

Go buy the machine they used to clear an 800foot driveway of snow in five minutes. Im sure itll be less than $1000.

If you didn’t want to pay that price, why did you agree to it?

Did you not settle on a price beforehand?

Next time call the local high school and higher teenagers. Five teenagers with shovels will do it for one-third the price, especially if you feed them.

$1000? That’s it? Well, most people don’t have $1000 for an emergency. LOL. Pay your debts…..

If you agreed beforehand to pay 1000 then you are a lowlife....The guy had to buy a $20000.00 tractor to do the work..

I would bet you're also a Democrat...So you have 2 strikes against you.

Man you americans lovebringing politics into everything. The fact is he could be a democrat (law breaking whiner) or a republican (lying jerk).

No, Democrats have disdain for blue collar workers so I wager he's a Democrat.

We can’t tell much with limited data but can guess:

Plow guy sensed you could and would pay $1000 because you looked rich and desperate.

If misery loves company, I have a brother who bought a cabin with a long driveway in a secluded rural area. There is exactly one plow guy available to keep his driveway clear and he charges a ton, too. My brother has put out feelers for alternatives but nobody has risen to the bait.

You can get snow plows that fit on pickup trucks for under $2k, and I assume you have a pickup if you have an 800 ft driveway. Economically, one would make sense if the company is charging 1k to plow it once.

One of my employees lives way out in the boondocks of Montana. There, you are expected to plow the road in front of your house. She lives on 65 acres. And her driveway is a quarter mile long.

Bored NYC 13yo on a snow day, posting on here. 0/10

No shovel and broken arms ??

Well then lets just use that logic for all price gouging shall we? What a dum answer. It's a 5 min job, that's 12000$ per hour. Sorry but the average plow master is not saddled with debt and long hours of training. What people charge for things now is just crazy. Do as much as you can for yourself and put these people out of business. It is open season on gouging for every non skilled thing people do nowadays.

Your logic is without any semblance of rational thought. Must be a conservative.

Thank you price gougers of america president. This is precisely the logic that allows this to go on.

Take em to court, let them tell a semi rational judge why they make 12K/hr.

Did you know it would cost $1000? Are you mad because it took them 5mins rather than hours. You paid for a service not for their time know the difference.

$1000 does sound crazy high but if you willing to do so at the start why does it matter how long it takes?

I’m really thinking he is a very entitled republican.
